This invention relates to a memorandum pad holder and advertising device for desk telephones.

A primary object of the invention is to so construct an attachment of this character that it may be quickly and easily applied to thetelephone base and standard and which 7. when applied will not in any way disfigure' 10 the instrument and yet be in position for quick use when telephoning.

Another object of the invention is to so construct an attachment of this character 7 that While affording a maximum amount of i writing space will yet be so light in Weight as not to interfere in any way withthe use of the telephone. -Another object of the invention isto s construct a pad and its support that it may be positioned on the base and standard of the telephone instrument so that the party using the phone may have the receiver in his left hand and the pencil in his right over the. pad ready for making memorandums of the conversation.

In carrying out these objects, the invention is susceptible of a wide range of modification Witout departing from the spirit or sacriticing any of the advantages of the'claimed invention; there being shown in the drawing for illustrative purposes a preferred and practical form, in which:

Figure l is a perspect-ive view showing a telephone instrument equipped with thisimproved pad; and

This attachment comprises a plate 2 composed of celluloid'carel board or some similar light material shaped to conform to the shape of the base B having a central opening 3 to encircle the standard with an entrance slit 4 leading therefrom prefera ly at oblique angle, said slit- 4 terminating in a a smaller opening 5 designed to surround the cord C in 5 which the conducting wires are housed.

Leading from the opening 5 through theedge be used 7 for advertisingland th ma be secured -to' the plate'2 by any-suitable means being-here shown connected by ,staples'lO'along' the edge adjacent the advera' and pad holder offthelplate 2 isianother slit '6 'which 'is pref; erahly extendedin a dir'ec-tion opposite tothe F I re the plateQha Vinga firmer grip on the standard I Onehalf, more or less of 'th j.-'plate"2 ma e portionhere shown for; this purpose is numbered; 7 while the remainder thereof formsa'supp'ort for a pad on calendar pad 8. f i This pad Smayb'eof anyldesi red form and has a central opening registering with the openin 3,0'f the platen and it also has a slot 9 formed therein regijse tering with the slit 4 insaid-plate.
